Hi,
With the new version of columns, how do I get multi-line footnotes? I tried various things with \setupnotation but nothing seems to work?
MWE:
\starttext \startcolumns \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\footnote{\input zapf} } \stopcolumns \stoptext
Best wishes, Taco
Hi Taco,
There two documents /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/notnow.pdf and /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf written by Hans in which he says that long footnotes and columns cannot be treated correctly yet (in the first one) and in the second he says that pagecolumns can handle a « sane » usage of columns and footnotes…
Indeed the following works but not with your example :-( Best regards: OK
\definepagecolumns [example] [n=2, distance=5mm]
\starttext
\startpagecolumns[example] \dorecurse {7} { \samplefile{tufte} \footnote{This is a short footnote.} \par } \stoppagecolumns \stoptext

Which is a tad annoying, as my example worked in both mkii and mkiv just fine before the switch to the new mixed column system. It worked ok for decades, in fact.
The weird bit here is that the new mixed columns do actually reserve the correct amount of vertical space for the footnote, they just seem to ‘forget’ to break the footnote into lines in the end.
Best wishes, Taco
